MISSION  STUDY  FOR  1917-18 


THE  SELECTION  OF  SUITABLE 
TEXT-BOOKS 

What  Mission  Study  text-books  should 
be  used  in  the  next  college  year? 

The  importance  of  a  careful  choice  of 
courses  is  greater  than  at  any  time  in  the 
past. 

Missions  has  now  been  developed  into 
a  science;  the  literature  of  the  subject  has 
become  very  large ;  the  text-books  have 
multiplied  at  a  rate  to  be  almost  bewilder¬ 
ing;  the  study  of  the  subject  in  colleges, 
universities,  and  theological  seminaries  is 
not  only  being  pursued  with  greater 
thoroughness  and  a  keener  eye  to  its 
practical  issues,  but  has  grown  rapidly 
in  volume;  and  the  number  of- students 
to  be  directed  in  their  investigation  of 
missionary  questions  is  now  much  larger 
than  in  any  previous  year.  For  these 
reasons  among  others  great  care  should 
be  exercised  in  making  the  selection  of 
text-books. 

The  following  general  principles  should 
be  observed  in  selecting  text-books  : 

(1)  No  class  should  pursue  a  Mission 
Study  course  without  using  a  text-book. 
A  suitable  text-book  may  be  found  on 
each  of  the  important  missionary  themes. 

(2)  Books  should  be  chosen  which 
have  been  prepared  for  text-book  pur¬ 
poses.  A  large  list  suitable  to  use  in 
student  classes  is  given  on  pages  12-14  of 
this  pamphlet. 

(3)  Courses  of  study  should  be  pro¬ 
gressive.  A  four  years’  syllabus  should 
be  followed,  wherever  possible. 

(4)  The  study  of  foreign  missions 
should  be  pursued  with  relation  to  the 
study  of  North  American  problems  and 
the  study  of  the  Bible.  A  four  years’ 
curriculum  has  been  outlined  having  such 
a  correlation  in  view  and  known  as  “Col¬ 
lege  Voluntary  Study  Courses.”  The 
first  semester  courses  in  each  year  are 


3 


devoted  to  Bible  Study;  those  for  the 
second  semester  pertain  to  the  study  of 
foreign  missions  and  North  American 
problems. 

Where  this  program  of  correlated  study 
is  followed  it  is  imperatively  necessary 
that  the  second  semester  courses  should 
start  at  the  very  beginning  of  the  semester. 

PROGRAM  OF  STUDY  FOR  1917-1918 

Of  the  text-books  which  are  espe¬ 
cially  recommended  for  the  year  the 
new  ones  are:  Dr.  Patton’s  “The  Lure 
of  Africa”;  Professor  Soper’s  “Non- 
Christian  Religions  of  the  World” 
(ready  in  the  fall) ;  and  Bishop  Lam- 
buth’s  “Medical  Missions”  (ready  in 
December). 


A  MINIMUM  PROGRAM 


The  minimum  program  of  mission  study 
for  1917-1918  in  each  college  should  there¬ 
fore  consist  of  the  following: 

I.  Christian  Standards  in  Life.  By  J. 

Lovell  Murray  and  Frederick  M. 
Harris.  Includes  daily  Bible  read¬ 
ings  and  topi(^  for  discussion.  176 
pages ;  price,  cents.  C*  ® 
Arranged  for  twelve  studies. 

No  better  approach  to  the  whole  subject  of 
foreign  missions  can  be  made  than  through  con¬ 
tact  with  some  of  the  great  spirits  that  during 
the  Christian  centuries  have  flashed  out  as  high 
types  of  the  heroic  in  missionary  endeavor. 
This  subject  can  be  made  quite  elementary  and 
at  the  same  time  it  lends  itself  to  the  most  pro¬ 
found  research. 

This  is  the  first  missionary  text-book  in  the 
College  Voluntary  Study  Series.  It  treats  of 
twelve  great  Christian  leaders,  six  of  them 
foreign  missionaries,  and  shows  how  their  lives 
illustrated  outstanding  principles  of  Christian 
living. 

II.  A  Challenge  to  Life  Service.  By 

Frederick  M.  Harris  and  Joseph 
C.  Robbins.  Includes  daily  Bible 
readings  and  topics  for  discussion. 
152  pages;  price ’iSQs^cents.  L  ^ 
Arranged  for  twelve  studies. 


4 


This  book  offers  studies  in  certain  important 
aspects  of  the  Kingdom  of  God,  its  ideals,  scope, 
privileges  and  obligations.  It  exalts  the  place 
and  duty  of  the  individual  citizen  of  the  King¬ 
dom.  The  relation  of  the  Church  to  the  King¬ 
dom  is  emphasized  and  the  sweep  of  the  King¬ 
dom’s  interests  is  shown  to  be  always  world-wide. 

III.  Non-Christian  Religions  of  the 
World.  By  Edmund  D.  Soper  (In 
preparation.)  Includes  daily  Bible 
readings  and  topics  for  discussion. 
Price  30^ cents.  ^ 

Arranged  for  twelve  studies. 

Every  year  witnesses  a  deeper  interest  in  the 
non-Christian  religions  of  the  world.  They  fur¬ 
nish  a  study  at  once  fascinating  and  highly  re¬ 
warding.  This  text-book  presents  a  sympathetic 
examination  of  the  main  elements  in  Hinduism, 
Buddhism,  Mohammedanism,  Confucianism,  Shin¬ 
toism,  Parseeism  and  Judaism  and  compares 
their  teachings  with  those  of  the  Christian  faith. 

IV.  Christianizing  Community  Life. 
By  Harry  F.  Ward  and  Richard 
H.  Edwards.  Includes  daily  Bible 
readings  and  topics  for  discussion. 
176  pages;  price,  ^Q^ents.^ 

Arranged  for  twelve  studies. 

No  more  fitting  subject  could  conclude  this 
four  years’  program  of  study  than  that  of  the 
present-day  problems  of  society  in  North  Ameri¬ 
ca  and  throughout  the  world  and  the  solutions 
which  applied  Christianity  has  to  offer.  This 
text-book  follows  the  student  from  college  into 
his  community  and  shows  him  how  as  a  Chris¬ 
tian  he  can  make  his  contribution  to  the  social 
betterment  of  his  fellows.  The  problems  of 
community  life  in  non-Christian  lands  as  well 
as  those  in  North  America  are  considered. 


PARALLEL  COURSES 


The  four  courses  above  mentioned  are 
far  from  sufficient  for  the  student  who 
wishes  to  be  well  informed  as  to  the 
world  operations  of  Christianity.  They 
should  furnish  him  with  a  right  attitude 
to  the  missionary  program  of  the  Church 
and  with  an  appetite  for  further  investi¬ 
gation.  They  are  to  be  regarded  merely 
as  a  minimum  requirement.  In  every 
college  these  courses  should  be  supple¬ 
mented  by  others  dealing  with  specifically 
foreign  missionary  questions.  For  the 


5 


year  1917-1918  the  following  are  suggested 
for  special  attention  : 

I.  The  Lure  of  Africa.  By  Cornelius 

H.  Patton.  224  pages ;  paper,  40 
cents  ;  cloth,  60  cents. 

Arranged  for  seven  studies. 

Suggestions  to  leaders,  10  cents. 

This  text-book,  which  is  just  off  the  press,  is  a 
rich  combination  of  information  and  interest. 
The  author  is  a  careful  student  of  African  af¬ 
fairs  and  has  traveled  widely  in  the  Dark  Con¬ 
tinent.  His  racy,  vivid  account  of  present-day 
conditions  there  is  reliable  and  abounds  in  in¬ 
cident.  In  the  main,  pagan  Africa  is  treated, 
but  North  Africa  also  comes  in  for  notice.  The 
threatening  advance  of  Islam  is  described,  as  are 
also  the  rouarkable  gains  of  Christianity.  Africa 
is  being  deeply  affected  by  the  War  and  chal¬ 
lenges  attention  strongly  at  this  time. 

II.  South  American  Neighbors.  By 

Homer  C.  Stuntz.  211  pages;  pa¬ 
per,  40  cents ;  cloth,  60  cents. 

Arranged  for  eight  studies. 

Suggestions  to  leaders,  10  cents. 

The  latest  text-book  dealing  with  South  Amer¬ 
ica  which  now  has  an  exceptional  claim  on  the 
attention  of  the  Christians  of  the  United  States 
and  Canada.  The  pages  reflect  the  spirit  and  de¬ 
liberations  of  the  recent  Congress  at  Panama. 

III.  The  Students  of  Asia.  By  G. 

Sherwood  Eddy.  209  pages  ;  paper, 
35  cents ;  cloth,  50  cents. 

Arranged  for  eight  studies. 

Suggestions  to  leaders  free. 

This  book  gives  a  vivid  account  of  the  condi¬ 
tions  affecting  the  college  men  and  women  of 
Eastern  lands,  the  educational  systems  of  their 
countries,  their  racial  qualities,  manner  of  life, 
modes  of  thought,  religious  interests,  moral 
perils  and  the  paths  to  power  that  open  out  be¬ 
fore  them  as  the  future  leaders  of  nations  in 
transition.  Their  present  responsiveness  to  the 
message  of  Christianity  is  graphically  described. 

IV.  A  choice  of  two  courses  is  suggested 

for  the  Senior  year. 

1.  Medical  Missions.  By  W.  R. 
Lambuth.  (In  preparation.) 

Among  the  methods  used  for  extending  the 
Kingdom  of  God  in  the  non-Christian  world 
medical  missions  has  been  in  many  ways  the 
most  effective.  Besides  giving  physical  relief  to 
individuals  it  opens  the  way  for  the  preacher; 
it  produces  a  favorable  attitude  of  mind;  it  gives 
a  practical  expression  of  the  spirit  of  Jesus;  it 
sets  standards  for  the  social  errand  of  Christian 


6 


missions;  it  is  the  Gospel  in  deed.  This  text¬ 
book  is  being  prepared  for  students  by  Bishop 
Lambuth,  an  authority  on  the  subject  and  a 
former  medical  missionary.  It  is  expected  from 
the  press  in  December. 

2.  The  Present  World  Situation. 
By  John  R.  Mott.  259  pages; 
paper,  50  cents;  cloth,  $1.00. 
Arranged  for  eight  studies. 

Suggestions  to  leaders  free. 

No  more  timely  book  could  be  offered  for 
study  than  this.  Strictly  speaking,  it  is  the 
present  world  situation  as  it  affects  the  prob¬ 
lem  of  world  evangelization  that  is  vinder  dis¬ 
cussion.  It  is  “The  Decisive  Hour”  up  to 
date,  only  treated  along  quite  new  lines.  Broad 
questions  of  statesmanship  and  strategy  are 
discussed  as  they  relate  not  only  to  direct  mis¬ 
sionary  operations,  but  also  to  the  whole  large 
problem  of  Christianizing  all  the  relations  be¬ 
tween  nations. 

Many  other  excellent  Mission  Study 
text-books  are  available.  See  pages  12  to 

14. 

The  Educational  Secretaries  of  the  Stu¬ 
dent  Volunteer  Movement  will  gladly 
give  counsel  in  regard  to  the  selection  of 
courses.

logical  students  are  the  following:

tian  Lands. 

Faunce.  Social  Aspects  of  Foreign 
Missions. 

Findings  of  the  Continuation  Commit¬ 
tee  Conferences  in  Asia,  1912-1913. 
(Arranged  by  Topics  with  General 
and  Chapter  introductions  by  Prof. 
Harlan  P.  Beach.)

DAILY  BIBLE  READINGS 


It  is  of  great  importance  that  the  study 
of  foreign  missions  should  be  integrated 
into  the  correlated  scheme  for  voluntary 
religious  study  to  which  reference  has 
been  made.  Where  this  is  done,  the  study 
of  foreign  missions  and  of  North  Ameri¬ 
can  problems  will  have  right  of  way  in 
the  second  half  of  the  college  year,  and 
many  students  entering  Mission  Study 
classes  will  then  cease  to  belong  to  Bible 
Study  classes. 

It  would  be  deplorable  if  these  students 
should  give  up  their  habit  of  daily  de¬ 
votional  Bible  Study.  To  stimulate  and 
direct  this  habit,  two  courses  of  daily 
readings  have  been  prepared,  “The  Chris¬ 
tian  Social  Order,”  and  “The  Missionary 
Message  of  the  Bible.”  This  feature 
should  be  strongly  emphasized  through 
the  Mission  Study  classes.  The  price  of 
these  readings  is  5  cents  when  ordered 
with  a  text-book,  or  10  cents  when  or¬ 
dered  separately;  15  for  $1.00,  or  100  for 
$5.00. 


METHODS  OF  PROMOTION 

Missionary  committees  will  find  in  the 
pamphlet  “The  Organization  of  Mission 
Study  Among  Students,”  price  5  cents,  a 
discussion  of  the  methods  of  interesting 
and  organizing  students  in  the  study  of 
missions.  A  list  of  pamphlets  for  the 
missionary  committee  is  given  on  page 
15  of  this  Prospectus. 

Committees  are  earnestly  requested  to 
keep  the  office  of  the  Student  Volunteer 
Movement  informed  of  their  plans  and 
to  honor  promptly  all  requests  for  re¬ 
ports,  Methods  that  prove  especially  suc¬ 
cessful  in  enlisting  students  in  classes, 
in  maintaining  the  interest,  or  in  direct¬ 
ing  it  into  channels  of  practical  service 
should  be  reported  to  the  office.  If  diffi¬ 
culties  arise  at  any  point  in  the  campaign, 
these  also  should  be  reported.  The  Edu¬ 
cational  Secretaries  will  be  glad  to  give 
any  assistance  in  their  power.

HELPS  FOR  LEADERS  OF  CLASSES 


Leaders  of  classes  feel,  or  ought  to 
feel,  the  need  of  assistance.  They  should 
study  carefully  two  brief  but  most  useful 
pamphlets.  Dr.  Sailer’s  “General  Sugges¬ 
tions  for  Leaders  of  Mission  Study 
Classes,”  and  Miss  Day’s  “Mission  Study 
Class  Method”  (price,  5  cents  each). 
Manley’s  “Missionary  Study  Principles” 
(price  50  cents)  is  a  longer  and  more 
thorough  treatment  of  the  subject. 

In  addition  to  these  general  helps,  there 
are  separate  pamphlets  of  “Suggestions 
to  Leaders”  on  some  of  the  text-books 
mentioned  above  and  on  almost  all  of 
those  in  the  longer  list  that  follows. 

The  Educational  Secretaries  will  glad¬ 
ly  correspond  with  leaders. 

REFERENCE  MATERIAL 

It  is  important  that  for  all  the  courses 
being  studied  there  should  be  available  an 
ample  supply  of  reference  material. 

A  carefully  annotated  list  of  mission¬ 
ary  books  is  contained  in  the  “Selected 
Bibliography  of  Missionary  Literature,” 
published  by  the  Student  Volunteer 
Movement  (price,  35  cents). 

The  following  reference  books  are  sug¬ 
gested  for  use  in  connection  with  the 
courses  named  above : 

CHRISTIAN  STANDARDS  IN  LIFE 

The  reference  books  should  include  extended 
accounts  of  the  lives  to  be  studied,  together  with 
standard  books  on  the  countries  in  which  the 
workers  served. 

A  CHALLENGE  TO  LIFE  SERVICE 

Any  reliable  volumes  dealing  with  present  con¬ 
ditions  on  the  mission  field,  such  as  Mott’s  “De¬ 
cisive  Hour  of  Christian  Missions’)  and  “The 
Present  World  Situation”  and  the  biographies  of 
representative  missionaries  will  be  found  help¬ 
ful.  On  the  general  nature  and  development  of 
the  foreign  missionary  enterprise  three  books 
of  special  value  are,  Gulick’s  “The  Growth  of 
the  Kingdom  of  God”  ($1.50),  Jones’  “The 
Modern  Missionary  Challenge”  ($1.50)  and 
Brown’s  “The  Foreign  Missionary”  (68  cents). 
A  further  reference  list  will  be  found  in  an  ap¬ 
pendix  to  the  text-book.
